Mom accused of slapping girl for smarting off (+MUG)

A 33-year-old Odessa woman was arrested and charged with injury to a child after, court documents state, she slapped her 12-year-old daughter twice across the face after she “smarted off.”

Nahni Su Guerrero, 5609 Fort Worth Ave., was listed Monday at the Ector County Detention Center on a $5,000 bond. However, court documents list her name as Nahni Su Madrid.

Ector County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a disturbance call Sunday around 10:22 p.m. at 5609 For Worth Ave., and found Guerrero standing over her 12-year-old daughter and holding her leg, an arrest affidavit stated.

During an interview with deputies, Guerrero said she slapped her daughter in the face with an open palm after she “smarted off” and cussed at her, the affidavit stated.

The daughter told deputies her mother slapped her twice in the face. The daughter was observed with blood around her nose and redness around the right side of her face and said she had soreness in the jaw, the affidavit stated. The daughter also told deputies Guerrero hit her in the past, a claim Guerrero admitted to, the affidavit stated.

Deputies then arrested Guerrero and put the juvenile in the care of another relative, the affidavit stated.
